A few excellently spooky stories for October. It's Edith Wharton, so even the boring stories were well-crafted.

pickTwo sisters with special powers find themselves pitted against the ghost of Bluebeard. Utterly delicious.
pickI almost gave up on this and was starting to wonder what people were talking about and then I flipped the page and the storyline picked up and it was atmosphericly gorgeous and creepy. Oh so creepy and the last 10% percent went by faster than I could have expected.
I absolutely loved how much the setting and the house itself were such characters along the Mexican countryside showcasing some of the glitz of the 1950's.

I am still sorry I didn‘t put this one on my #AuldLangSpine list (I thought it might be too extreme for some) because it is one of the most memorable books I read in 2025. Gleefully gory horror, it won‘t be for everyone but I enjoyed it & I‘m looking forward to the movie coming out this year.
pickThis wasn‘t as good as the first one, but it‘s still absolutely fantastic. Her writing is just so good. The chilling atmosphere hits you from the very first page and carries you all the way though. I am also a little in love with Easton.

bailedWelp, my first book of 2026 is a bail. 😂
Tried this one for #authoramonth, but this genre is just not for me. I do, however, have one of their graphic novels under the name Ursula Vernon, so we'll see how that goes!

Tried to make a tracking pic collage for my Book Spin Books. I love that this month will be my #AuthoraMonth #FableBR and #FoodandLit challenges as well. 🤩

In September we supported women‘s rights AND wrongs. And wow, did Winifred lean into the wrongs.
And personally, I loved that for her.
